CAULIFLOWER 



Blumen Kohl, (Ger.) 



Coliflor, (Sp.) 



Cauliflower succeeds well in any 

 soil where Cabbages will grow. It 

 delights in a rich soil and abundance 

 of water. By sowing the early va- 

 rieties in a hot-bed in February or 

 March, fine heads can be obtained 

 in May or June. For a later supply 

 sow seed in a prepared bed in May, 

 chftosing a cool, moist place. When 

 large enough, transplant, making 

 the rows about 2^ feet apart and 18 

 inches between the plants. Trans- 

 planting should be done in moist 

 weather. One ounce of seed pro-= 

 duces about 3,000 plants.
